My Thoughts

 The Smurfs come alive for kids everywhere with this exciting new video game. My family received the 3DS version to try out, and they absolutely loved it. There are twelve different mini games to play and players can meet popular characters including, Hefty, Jokey, Brainey, Smurfette, and Papa Smurf. Throughout the game you get to build your own mushroom houses and create your own Smurf village.  In order to do this you have to collect your supplies from dangerous locations like Gargamel's Lab.

All my children had a great time with this game. The game is challenging without being overwhelming for grade school kids and the violence level is minimal, so it's a great choice for kids between the ages of five and ten. Any older than that, and they may find it too easy. Younger children will get frustrated. The graphics were fabulous. Watching them play from my seat was like watching a movie. The characters are adorable and very interactive. If your kids love The Smurfs, this video game is definitely worth the investment.
